About CCR

All of us cricket fans are no strangers to the roller coaster of emotions one goes through when witnessing a
match that goes right down to the wire. Well, it’s only fair then that the
players are appreciated for the entertainment value they bring to the sport
that has fanatics like us glued to our seats.

For years, this wasn’t the case till 1995, when PMG and CEAT realized the
need of establishing a system which would recognize and reward players for
their exceptional performance. Fittingly, three legends of the game, Clive Lloyd,
Ian Chappell and Sunil Gavaskar put their heads together to come up with the CEAT International
Cricket Rating System.

CEAT Cricket Rating (CCR) was the first of its kind in the cricketing world. It named Brian Lara as the CEAT Cricketer of the year in 1996, and since then CCR has kept pace with how the sport has evolved. CEAT T20 Ratings was introduced in Oct 2007 when the game’s ‘slambang’ version- Twenty20 cricket, started becoming a rage. Herein, the rankings parameters
included batsman’s strike rate and a bowler’s economy rate.

Governing Council

CEAT International Cricket Rating system was devised by Sunil Gavaskar in association with Ian Chappell and Clive Lloyd in 1995. Once the world record holder for the highest number of Test centuries, Gavaskar is now the chief adjudicator of the CEAT Cricket Rating Awards.
He regularly appears as cricket expert for NDTV 24X7 and also pens a weekly column in the Sunday edition of The Times of India, dedicated to the CEAT International Cricketer of the Week.
